Bearing a scar across her face as an example of her fearlessness and determination, Athena aims to maintain the legacy of Malcolm Merlyn, her fallen commander — and thus sees anyone who was once associated with him as a potential threat.

After last week’s episode, it’s hard not to think that the character of Athena will be revealed to be the one who is actually playing Cayden James, and being the one who framed Oliver for killing Cayden’s son.

But even if that doesn’t end up being the case, it’s safe to say that the legacy of the League of Assassins will be part of the focus moving forward, as Nyssa Al Ghul will also be returning later this season to warn Team Arrow about a new threat. Will that new threat be Athena? We shall soon find out as “Arrow” season six continues on.
